Visual Comparisons

Though the data was compiled randomly, it was striking to see a preference for cities in the Northern Hemisphere. Latitude values ranged from -60 to 80 with what looked like 2/3 of the data points populating >0. In a way, the data visualized the landmass distibution of Earth itself: ~68% Northern Hemisphere, ~32% Southern Hemisphere. This indicates that we would see similar patterns when surveying Longitude data, as the landmass distribution is roughly the same East vs West.
